Nice thing here is property maintenance/expenses is turned over to the tenant/owner and you're out of the landlord game, but still get monthly income.  

Hey everyone,For those in the real estate game, how do you track your property expenses, labor, and other details during the renovation process, especially when managing multiple properties simultaneously (e.g., 3-5 houses)?

Its a numbers game. 

A big part of succeeding in this game is simply staying in the game.Make sure to take the lessons from this experience so it’s not in vain:•Always keep reserves.

Oops, game over, you lost.

I've found the same when using pricing tools, but I've heard from others that it's been a game changer for their business...

I just started investing with them a few months ago, and I'm new to the game here. 

I currently house hack in Chicago, however, going from that to STRs where I cannot self manage is a different ball game and just wanting to pick peoples brains who are doing what I'm interested in doing.  

One of my favorite authors, Nicholas Nassim Taleb, sold me on the concept of Skin in the Game and holding all pundits accountable for prior predictions, myself included. 

I also want high skin in the game, conservative leverage and reasonable fees.Open-door isn't a match for me (and an easy "no") because they don't have that type of experience.
